About the Author

We are living in a world all at once disconnected, and yet capable of connections never before possible. You may be sitting thousands of miles away, reading this without ink hitting paper, paper entering an envelope nor entering the hands of the postal worker. We have reached one another.

​And yet, I see a sense of disconnectedness everywhere; from the touch of the planet, the intricate dance between people, from the pith of our own selves. This website is for my personal writings with a focus on this very juxtaposition and my thoughts on how we might move towards a more integrated, healthy and heartfelt world.

My name is Annie Doran. I am a writer, an editor, an herbalism student and an event planner currently traveling around North America. You will find many personal truths among these web-pages, and I hope they strike a chord with you.

While this site is focused on personal essays, I have also worked as a professional editor, copywriter and blogger. My writings have been printed in various publications. I am also open to discussing any of the works here for publication, or creating a new work for your magazine, blog or website. If you are in need of a freelance writer or editor, please feel free to get in touch at anniethesloan@gmail.com .
